THEME SUMMARY

Digitalization is a key initiative in everyday life, including healthcare. Within this, one of the most promising and disruptive technologies is Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has started to play an increasingly important role in daily medical practice. AI agents have already shown that they can match or even outperform human professionals in determining the best treatments for, amongst others, cancer patients. However, as new data science and AI technologies are being developed and tested, concerns have arisen regarding their ethical, societal and legal implications, as well as their susceptibility to errors. These include issues concerning clinical accuracy and safety, transparency, security, accountability, data privacy and fairness. This Winter School will offer a unique set of lectures and activities enabling participants to familiarise themselves with the value chain of ethical, social and legal considerations in the field of biomedical AI solutions.

TARGET GROUP: Bachelor, master and doctoral students in medicine, biomedicine, life sciences and other fields of study related to ethical, legal and social issues in medicine.
